Applications

Whole room calorimetry is the most powerful research tool available for measuring the detailed time course of human energy expenditure in a natural, unrestrained setting. Energy expenditure can be monitored with excellent temporal resolution, so that the metabolic consequences of different activities can be precisely evaluated. Moreover, whole room calorimetry provides data on the research subject’s relative utilization of metabolic substrates such as fats or carbohydrates.

Whole room calorimetry has been shown in peer-reviewed scientific studies to be a significantly more accurate method of measuring human energy expenditure. For human calorimetry, whole room systems set the gold standard.

UPCOMING COURSES

This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to measure metabolic rates using indirect calorimetry. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for subjects ranging from small invertebrates to large mammals. Participants can work with single animal and high through-put systems in both open-flow[...]

This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to use indirect calorimetry in metabolic screening. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for laboratory rodents. Measurement systems also include food & water intake, body mass monitoring, wheel running and voluntary activity. Data[...]
